Severe Weather 3/4 - 3/8

Man, I'm gonna be hyperbolic for a sec and say there's a chance this becomes known as the Broyles outbreak, because he might've been right. I am straight up alarmed by these most recent model runs.

Check out these soundings (scroll right, I added labels for location). The thing that has me convinced is the high percentage of tornadic analogs with these soundings.


If there's anything the past year has shown me, it's that Broyles can see the future.
 
Is it too late to upgrade to a moderate risk? Starting to think it may be warranted - with some of the soundings I'm seeing, I feel like a CIG2 tornado threat is not outside the realm of possibility here.
Maybe at 2000z? I think it's warranted by now. There is an entirely real and non-ignorable chance that this turns out to be a tornado outbreak.

I doubt they’ll upgrade. They usually mention they’re considering it.
The only time I can remember them considering an emergency upgrade was for 3/14 iirc, but as we know now that wasn't pulled in time. Obviously this isn't as volatile as a situation.

A CIG2 would still be in the ENH range, but if they upgrade to a 15% then it would be a MDT. I'm not sure whether that would be warranted anywhere in the risk area though.
